Re: baegle daemon always indexing

[Andreas Heinz <dashboard a80 net>]

does that also happen for thunderbird?
as far a i understand, thunderbird backend also uses files and so your 
explanations would mean that thunderbird backend also has to rescan 
everything from start, after beagle restart?! that would explain, why my 
beagle always turns wild at startup...
